Rep. Jahana Hayes, D-Conn., said on Thursday that she regretted voting for the Laken Riley Act earlier this year.
The congresswoman made the statement during a CNN town hall, telling anchor Kaitlan Collins that though she once supported the bill, she came to regret it after seeing immigrants being demonized by the Trump administration.
“As I’ve thought about it over the last couple of months, I probably would have voted differently. It’s a vote that I regret,” Hayes said.
